There’s a chapter in my e-book, Materials Woman, Mystical World, about my “Non secular Fashion Icons.” A type of various “best-dressed checklist,” it contains everyone from the Hindu Goddess Kali (she of the fearsome blue face), to the Queen of Pentacles, and Leandra Medine, the creator of the web site Repeller. They stand in stark distinction to conventional “sizzling folks” lists from Instagram or the media. Against a real celebration of particular person model, most of those best-dressed lists are literally “best-looking,” “finest legs,” and “most palatable” lists. Girls anointed with the coveted title of “model icon” usually conform to very conventional concepts about what’s sizzling.

Many individuals could also be stunned I included the Goddess Venus on my checklist of body-positive leaders. Named for the planet of affection, attraction, and abundance, essentially the most well-known depiction of this legendary mega babe is Botticelli’s portray of her bare within the half shell, with solely her swirling auburn mane to protect her modesty. And truly, Venus is rarely proven absolutely clothed. So how did she make my best-dressed checklist?

As I wrote in my e-book: “I believe it serves us people effectively to get comfy with what we appear like bare, and the way it feels to easily exist past the ‘boundaries’ of garments.” To not point out the very fact: “What makes Venus horny is her complete lack of self-consciousness… She appears to be like like a girl who is aware of her physique is hers to be loved.” And if that’s not a adequate cause, listed below are 4 extra.
